Locomotor Response to Novelty
Individual differences in response strategies may be utilized to identify those at risk for the development of neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and substance use. One behavioral attribute that has been used to predict later mood disorders and substance use disorders is an organism's predisposition for novelty‐seeking, modeled in rodents as increased exploration of novel environments or stimuli. Despite documented correlatio…
Effect of nicotine corrective messaging on nicotine-related beliefs in US adults
NCT04805515
A review of the evidence on cigarettes with reduced addictiveness potential
BACKGROUND: In May 2018, the Secretariat for the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control convened a meeting to discuss the potential for reducing the addictiveness of tobacco products. A central focus was to review research findings on the behavioral effects of reducing the addictiveness of cigarettes. METHODS: This manuscript reports the results of a review of the behavioral science literature, updated through April 202…
Risk Perceptions of Low Nicotine Cigarettes and Alternative Nicotine Products across Priority Smoking Populations
Our study indicates that adults who smoke cigarettes generally have misperceptions about the harms of nicotine and the relative risks of ANDS products and such misperceptions exist regardless of their racial/ethnic identity, sexual orientation, and gender identity
Tailored Cigarette Warning Messages
Current text-only cigarette warning labels (long-term, loss-framed messages) may not motivate positive changes in smoking behavior. The current project was a cross-sectional study examining the effects of tailored cigarette warnings on perceived message effectiveness (PME) in adult smokers ( n = 512) conducted using Amazon Mechanical Turk (M-Turk) in January-February 2020. Participants were an average age of 40.7 (SD = 11.6), with the majority of…
Psychometric Analysis of a Microenvironment Secondhand Smoke Exposure Questionnaire
Three constructs emerged; results indicate that a shortened 10-item scale could be used in future studies
Effects of advertising features on smokers’ and non-smokers’ perceptions of a reduced nicotine cigarette modified risk tobacco product
Disclaimer content may effectively inform consumers about addiction risk of a new RNC cigarette MRTP, and further inform non-smokers about health risks. This element, however, had little effect on perceived health risks among smokers, among whom the Moonlight product name was associated with health risk misperceptions similar to the banned 'light' descriptor
Strategies to Reduce Illicit Trade of Regular Nicotine Tobacco Products After Introduction of a Low-Nicotine Tobacco Product Standard
The US Food and Drug Administration is considering mandating a substantial reduction in the nicotine level of cigarettes and possibly other combusted tobacco products to render them minimially addictive. This would likely result in several public health benefits, including increased cessation, decreased progression to dependence, and reduced consumption of combusted tobacco products. However, findings from clinical trials of reduced-nicotine ciga…
Correlates of support for a nicotine-reduction policy in smokers with 6-week exposure to very low nicotine cigarettes
Smoking VLNC cigarettes did not affect support for a nicotine reduction policy. Understanding predictors of policy support and opposition will help public health officials to maximise the public health acceptance and impact of this policy (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01681875 Post-Results)
Perceived nicotine content of reduced nicotine content cigarettes is a correlate of perceived health risks
Although the perception of reduced nicotine is associated with a reduction in perceived harm, it may not attenuate the anticipated beneficial effects on smoking behaviour. These findings have implications for potential product standards targeting nicotine and highlight the need to clarify the persistent harms of reduced nicotine combusted tobacco products
The case for the WHO Advisory Note, Global Nicotine Reduction Strategy
Cigarettes are the most addictive tobacco product and also the most deadly, causing the highest rates of tobacco-caused mortality and morbidity in most areas of the world.1 ,2 Although current tobacco control efforts have led to significant reductions in smoking prevalence, innovative strategies that can result in a more rapid elimination of cigarette smoking should be a high priority.1 ,3 In the US Surgeon General's report,1 reducing nicotine in…
Reducing the nicotine content of combusted tobacco products sold in New Zealand
Large reductions in nicotine content could dramatically reduce reinforcement from and dependence on cigarettes. In this article, we summarise the potential benefits of reducing nicotine in combusted tobacco and address some of the common concerns. We focus specifically on New Zealand because it may be ideally situated to implement such a policy. The available data suggest that, in current smokers, very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes decre…
Reducing nicotine exposure results in weight gain in smokers randomised to very low nicotine content cigarettes
